Born into a family of musicians, Stadler began to play the cello at age 4. He began his studies with Alexey Lazko and continued his education at the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music in St. Petersburg. Stadler studied with Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar and had scholarships from the Oscar und Vera Ritter-Stiftung and the Alfred Töpfer Stiftung in Hamburg. He has also participated in cello masterclasses with David Geringas, Frans Helmerson, Lynn Harrell, and Steven Isserlis.
